Me and my friends love to LAN party at my house. We regularly have 3 comps, sometimes make to 5 or 6. All run either EQ2 or Lineage2(My dad's game of choice).
For awhile we were working fine. Then things got...strange.
First one of our friends made a new character. And EVERY time this character loads into a zone - my internet goes down and I have to reboot my modem. This happens 100% of the time with this charcter.
At the time, no one else' character did such a thing. This does NOT affect them when their at home, only when in the LAN partys at my house.
Then it started happening to other characters. Now at anytime, seemingly randomly, when someone zones they freeze at the "Loading UI resources" and the Internet dies again. Reboot modem, game on. Once someone does it once, anytime they zone after that they will do it again 100% of the time UNTIL they reboot their machine.
The final straw: Now its gotten weirder. Anytime someone LEVELS the Internet goes down. I didnt beleive this at first when they told me(I was watching a movie) but it happened 3 times, so we made a new character to test it - lo and behold anytime a character levels on my network things go down.
Please, for the love of Powergaming Friends - someone tell me this is known and fixable?!
